Stephen Curry broke the NBA record for most career 3-pointers Tuesday night and finished with a team-high 22 points as the visiting Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 105-96.

Curry entered the game needing just two 3-pointers to break Ray Allen's mark of 2,973 3-pointers and wasted no time making history. He drained two of his first three attempts, including the record-breaker -- a 27-footer with 7:33 left in the opening quarter.
